Description
Powerful 135AW Suction. De-Tangling Motorbar™ Cleaner Head. No Filter to Wash.
Experience powerful whole-home cleaning without bags or washable filter maintenance with the Dyson Big Ball™ Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner in Red. Combining a powerful 700W Dyson motor with advanced Radial Root Cyclone™ technology, this bagless cylinder vacuum is engineered to maintain strong suction while capturing fine dust and tackling everyday dirt across carpets and hard floors.
The motorised Motorbar™ cleaner head provides powerful edge-to-edge cleaning and is particularly effective when dealing with hair. Polycarbonate hair-removal vanes automatically help clear wrapped hair from the brush bar as you clean, making it a practical choice for homes with pets or long hair.
Dyson's distinctive Ball™ technology makes manoeuvring around furniture, corners and other obstacles easier. Unlike conventional cylinder vacuums that can remain on their side after being knocked over, the Big Ball™ is designed to self-right and return to its working position.
A large 1.7-litre bin gives you plenty of capacity for bigger cleaning sessions, while hygienic one-click emptying helps release collected dirt without requiring you to reach inside the bin.

Powerful 135AW Suction
The Dyson Big Ball™ delivers a stated 135 air watts of suction power in Powerful mode, helping lift dust, dirt, debris and hair from around the home.
A powerful 700W Dyson motor works together with the cyclone system and motorised floorhead to provide effective cleaning across carpets and hard flooring.
No Loss of Suction¹
Dyson's advanced cyclone technology is engineered to separate dust efficiently from the airflow, helping the vacuum maintain powerful suction as you clean.
The supplied Dyson information describes this as "no loss of suction".¹ Performance still depends on correct use and maintenance of the machine, including emptying the bin when required and keeping the airflow path free from blockages.
Radial Root Cyclone™ Technology
Two tiers of cyclones generate high centrifugal forces to separate microscopic dust and allergens from the airflow.
This highly efficient dust separation is central to the Big Ball™ design, allowing Dyson to eliminate the need for a conventional washable filter while maintaining strong suction performance.
Dyson Oscillating Cyclones
The cyclones incorporate oscillating tips designed to help separate microscopic dust that can otherwise contribute to clogging inside a vacuum cleaner.
Combined with Radial Root Cyclone™ technology, this helps maintain efficient airflow throughout your cleaning session.
No Filter to Wash
Routine vacuum maintenance is made easier because Dyson states there is no filter to wash on the Big Ball™.
There's no need to regularly remove a dirty washable filter, rinse it under the tap and wait for it to dry before using the vacuum again.
No Bags to Buy
The Dyson Big Ball™ is completely bagless. Dust and debris are separated from the airflow and collected directly inside the reusable bin.
This eliminates the ongoing inconvenience and expense of purchasing replacement vacuum bags.
HEPA Filtration
The supplied specification identifies the Dyson Big Ball™ as featuring HEPA filtration and states that the system traps 99.97% of fine dust as small as 0.3 microns before expelling cleaner air.
This filtration performance should not be interpreted as a medical or allergy-treatment claim, and normal household dust exposure can come from many sources beyond vacuum cleaning.
Powerful Motorbar™ Cleaner Head
The included Motorbar™ cleaner head provides motorised, edge-to-edge deep cleaning across suitable carpets and hard floors.
Its powered brush bar works into floor surfaces to help lift embedded dirt and collect hair rather than relying on suction alone.
De-Tangles Hair as You Clean
Long hair and pet hair can quickly become wrapped around a conventional vacuum brush bar. Dyson addresses this with integrated de-tangling technology.
Polycarbonate hair-removal vanes automatically help clear wrapped hair from the brush bar while you clean, reducing the amount of hair that needs to be manually cut or pulled away afterwards.
Designed for Homes with Pets
The powerful Motorbar™ cleaner head is specifically designed to suck up pet hair quickly, while its de-tangling vanes help manage hair wrapped around the rotating brush.
Some manual brush-bar maintenance may still occasionally be necessary depending on the quantity, length and type of hair collected.
Deep Cleaning Across Carpets & Hard Floors
The Dyson Big Ball™ is specified for all floor types, allowing you to move between suitable carpet and hard-floor surfaces during whole-home cleaning.
The Motorbar™ cleaner head combines motorised agitation with the vacuum's 135AW suction to provide effective dirt and debris pickup.
Ball™ Technology
Instead of using the conventional body design found on many cylinder vacuums, the Dyson Big Ball™ incorporates Dyson's Ball™ technology for easier manoeuvring.
This helps the machine steer smoothly around corners, furniture and other obstacles while following you through the home.
Self-Righting Design
One of the most distinctive features of the Big Ball™ is its ability to self-right.
Conventional cylinder vacuums can remain on their side when pulled over during cleaning. The Big Ball™ is engineered to pick itself back up, reducing interruptions as you move around the room.
360° Articulation
Flexible 360° articulation provides greater control when manoeuvring the vacuum and its cleaning tools.
This additional freedom of movement helps when changing direction or working around furniture and other awkward areas.
In-Hose Power Delivery
Dyson delivers power directly through the hose to compatible powered tools rather than relying on a separate arrangement at the floorhead.
According to Dyson, this provides stronger pickup with lower noise while allowing the Motorbar™ cleaner head to receive the power it needs for motorised cleaning.
Large 1.7-Litre Bin
The large 1.7-litre dust capacity means you can clean substantial areas before stopping to empty the machine.
This is particularly convenient during whole-home cleaning sessions where a smaller bin could require more frequent emptying.
Hygienic One-Click Bin Emptying
When the bin is full, collected dirt can be released using the hygienic one-click emptying mechanism.
The system is designed to eject debris at the push of a button, reducing the need to reach inside the bin and manually pull out collected dirt.
Quick-Release Tools
Dyson's quick-release connection system makes changing between compatible cleaning tools straightforward.
Attachments connect and release with a simple click, helping you move quickly between floor cleaning and more detailed jobs around the home.
Crevice Tool
The included Crevice Tool is engineered for precision cleaning in narrow spaces, around tricky edges and into difficult-to-reach corners.
It's particularly useful for areas where the main Motorbar™ cleaner head is too large to reach comfortably.
Combination Tool
The supplied accessory specification also lists a Combination Tool, providing another convenient attachment for suitable above-floor and detailed cleaning tasks.
Wand Storage Clip
The included Wand Storage Clip provides a convenient place to keep compatible tools directly on the vacuum wand.
This means frequently used attachments can stay close at hand instead of being left behind in a cupboard when you move from room to room.
Long 9.5m Power Cable
A generous 9.5-metre mains cable provides an extensive cleaning reach, helping reduce how frequently you need to unplug the vacuum and move to another socket.
As a mains-powered cylinder vacuum, the Big Ball™ also avoids the runtime and recharging limitations associated with cordless vacuum cleaners.
Built for Bigger Cleans
The combination of mains power, a long cable and large-capacity bin makes the Dyson Big Ball™ particularly well suited to longer cleaning sessions.
There's no battery to recharge midway through a clean, while the 1.7-litre bin reduces the frequency of emptying compared with smaller-capacity machines.
5-Year Manufacturer Warranty
The supplied product information states that the Dyson Big Ball™ is covered by a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
Your receipt of purchase must be retained to support any future warranty claim, and cover remains subject to Dyson's applicable warranty terms and conditions.

The Big Ball™ combines powerful 135AW mains-powered suction with a de-tangling Motorbar™ cleaner head, advanced cyclone technology, HEPA filtration and a large bagless bin. Its self-righting Ball™ design, long 9.5m cable, quick-release tools and lack of washable filter maintenance make it particularly convenient for thorough whole-home cleaning.
Important Information
The supplied Dyson information contains a small discrepancy in bin capacity. The marketing description states 1.6 litres, while both the detailed specification and separate dust-capacity table state 1.7 litres. The detailed technical figure of 1.7L has therefore been used as the primary specification.
The supplied dimensions also contain different height figures. One Dyson specification lists a height of 1,145mm, alongside a length of 400mm and width of 250mm, while the separate retail dimensions table gives H35 x W25 x D40cm. The 35cm measurement appears to refer to the cylinder body, while 1,145mm may reflect a different assembled configuration. Both source figures should not be treated as directly interchangeable measurements.
Dyson describes the machine as having "no filter to wash" and "no filter to maintain", while the supplied technical data separately specifies HEPA filtration and states that the system traps 99.97% of fine dust as small as 0.3 microns. These statements are retained according to the supplied product information and should not be interpreted as meaning the vacuum has no filtration system.
The Motorbar™ cleaner head incorporates de-tangling technology designed to automatically clear wrapped hair during cleaning. This reduces brush-bar maintenance but does not guarantee that manual hair removal will never be necessary.
The Dyson Big Ball™ is a dry vacuum cleaner. No liquid pickup, hard-floor washing, carpet washing or mopping capability is specified.
¹ "No loss of suction" is a Dyson manufacturer performance claim supplied for this model. Correct operation and routine maintenance remain necessary, including emptying the bin when required and keeping the machine's airflow path free from obstructions.
